"Carl Soderberg’s arrival in Boston has been delayed. As TSN first reported, the Swedish federation has declined to issue Soderberg his transfer card, thereby preventing him from reporting to the NHL.

The Bruins have already signed Soderberg to a three-year contract. Soderberg has also negotiated his exit deal with Linkoping, his Swedish club.

The NHL is entering a five-day period to determine its next move, according to a source familiar with the situation. The NHL could go against the Swedes and stamp Soderberg’s transfer card. If that happens and the Swedish federation balks, the issue might have to be settled in an arbitration court.

You will find that there is a high content of swedes in Quebec that have lobbied their representatives to halt the B's from picking up a player.

Never heard of anything so stupid in awhile (almost said my life-but I have many hab fans). you will not go to America, you will not play for the Bruins, you will play for team Sweden like you did in your youth 9 through 11 years ago.
